Char Sui is my favorite, Auntie! I love this stuff! I cheat and use the Noh powdered mix and thanks to you, I'll be making it YOUR way from now on. I can't wait to try this! Ono delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe!


OH I forgot to ask you this. Do you have a good recipe for manapua? I haven't had a good one of those in years! The small char sui bao around here just aren't as good as the manapua I remember eating as a child. Any tips or suggestions will be more than greatly appreciated!
